So, Ashton has become obsessed with Trio blocks! And, Jason kinda has too... lol. They are really fun for kids his age because they are easier to build with and there are so many creative things to make. Ashton got some for his birthday and then we kept finding them on sale, so he has hundreds of them and he will play with them for hours on end if we'd let him! I recommend them to everyone with kids age 3-5 or even maybe older and you can even get them for gifts for nieces and nephews or something. Seriously, they will be loved by anyone! Having said that, Ashton has also started a chore chart. He is required to clean his room every day and any toys he has out in the front room. He then gets a sticker each day and once he gets to 5 stickers, he can choose to go out for ice cream or save until he gets 10 and go buy a new toy. He is adapting well to this system, but it is hard for us to adapt. Our schedules are super hectic and we don't seem to be home long enough for him to even clean, so then he misses out and gets really sad. He also went to the bank with me the other day and we set him up a savings account. They do it a really fun way where they let the kids come in with a deposit slip and hand them their money for their special account and all that jazz... Ashton is so excited to earn money to put in the bank! He is my sweet boy and I can't picture him any older or less innocent! I love him to death!
My little Kingers has started doing more things. He now waves when you say "hi", puts his hand to his ear (like a cell phone) when you say "hello", and claps when you say "yay". He also recently started shaking his head when you say "no". It is so adorable but I can tell it will be a problem causing thing. He is very defiant. You tell him "no" and he shakes his head, smiles, and does it again. Yay for us, huh?! He is also beginning (yes,already) to pick up the bad habits of the playroom. The other morning, he walked up to another baby about his size and hit him in the face! (not hard, more like a brush against the face) but I scolded him and said "no" and of course, as I said, he smiled and did it again. The poor little guy had never been to the gym until that day and started bawling and didn't calm down until his mom came! Dang King! He is only 1 and already making kids cry. And, lets not go into how he always pulls Ashton's hair and makes him cry too! Luckily for Ashton, we buzzed their heads! He is going to be a handful for sure! But, he is also super sweet and cuddly (especially to his mommy)! And, with all this, I am still baby hungry! Hopefully we can get something set up and start trying in a few months or I'm gonna go crazy! Anyhow, Jay and I are starting up a new semester of online classes today and are not so thrilled, so wish us luck! That's life in a nutshell for us lately!!! xoxo
